Gooch is returning for his senior season! Huge news! Bring home the Hobey and National Title in 20/21!

Two CC players in the transfer portal: Sam Renlund and Bailey Conger. Conger has already transferred once...going from Providence to CC for a year at each. Maybe he can become the first NCAA hockey player to play for 4 teams, just play one season a piece at each school!

In the CHN simulation, UND gets past UMass to reach the F4: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2020/03/28_NCAA-Tournament-Weatherby.php

That’s gonna be a blowout. No way that #1 UMN loses that one.

Maybe put it in the Fire Berry thread? Gooch also won Forward of the Year, Smith got robbed on Defensive Forward of the Year, Poolman won Defensive Dman of the Year, and Pinto won Rookie of the Year.

Perunovich from UMD has signed.

Nice who are WMU and CC bringing in to be at #2 and #5?

WMU's soph dman Samuelsson signed with the Sabres. https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2020/03/25_WMUs-Samuelsson-Turns-Pro.php

Congrats to Gooch and Pinto! Smith got robbed.

Cornell played a grand total of 3 games all season against teams that made the NCAA tourney, and never on back to back nights. Michigan turned it on in the 2nd half, and were 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. They played 12 games during the season against teams in the NCAA tourney. IMO, Cornell was the definition of a team not battle tested against quality opponents. Any team they faced in the NCAA would have been one of the best, if not the best, team that they'd faced all season. That doesn't bode well for them rattling off multiple wins. I'd take Michigan in that 1st round matchup.

My guess is that Michigan would have gotten past Cornell in the first round.

Those Corona death numbers are for the world. The drug overdose and alcohol related deaths were just for the US. I wonder if the hospitals would be as overwhelmed if the media hadn't blown this up? We'll never know.

If those were the actual brackets, my guess would be: UND, Mankato, BC, and Denver to advance.

I've lived in both. Meh.

That's correct! It's all adding up.

Those deaths per day will have to start increasing very quickly if that’s happening. Over 3k/day instead of the actual ~300 in the past month.

That's ok, I'd grade the experts that project over 2mil US deaths a worse grade than that.

Only a few more until we hit the projected 1.1-2.2 million US deaths. Once we start hitting 4k deaths per day, we'll be right on target.

I wonder if he's a grad transfer that can play next season or if he has to sit a year? Man, going from the Kohl Center to a HS rink.

UW dumpster fire continues. Junior forward Sean Dhooghe has entered the NCAA transfer portal. He's a super small (5'3") but fun player to watch. C'mon Berry, bring home another transfer portal player to help for next season!

We were just talking about this at work yesterday. We thought the same thing. In late January something went around the shop that took each of us out for a couple days. One of the guys couldn't stop coughing. Another one had difficulty breathing and had to go to urgent care. We're convinced that like 4-5 of us have already had corona and recovered from it.

Sounds like Perunovich from Duluth close to signing. And Caufield from UW leaning towards staying another year.

Duncan goal from his spot. That never gets old.

This video has all the UND goals from that regional, including the first round game against Princeton.
